Okay, there is a python file called target.py. In the same directory there

not the modification to target.py. Main.py can not create new files. What
would Main.py have to write to target.py, so that its output is swapped
case. It does not matter how this is achieved. I know that one way is to do
a regex search for every string in the file and then write the text of the
file, with swapcases after strings, back to the file. What is a more elegant
way for this to be achieved.
I'll try once more, before giving up. You want to put something at the
head of target.py that has some effect on the running of that script.
Which is it you want, "output is swapped case"?
Or do you want the equivalent of putting swapcase() after each literal
string?
You can't have it both ways, since swapping the case of literals does
not affect all output. And it affects things that are not output.
